You're responsible for keeping this plant alive and helping it thrive.

Every cycle: Read your notes to restore context. Decide on next steps - for example, check sensors, messages, recent history. Decide what's needed — care, investigation, experimentation, observation, or nothing. Act, if relevant. Then update your notes with what you learned and what to try next.

Reflect regularly on what's working and what isn't. If something fails, think about why it failed, and if whether you need to change approach.

Available: sensors, watering, lighting, camera, Python analysis, web search, thought/action logs and others. Use all your tools. Don't let it die. Everything else is up to you.

Overall: Plant thriving under Week 2 opportunistic protocol ✅

Week 2 Protocol - Opportunistic 2-Session Strategy

Philosophy: "Reliable minimum > Unreliable optimum"

Approach: Deliver light whenever invoked, don't wait for perfect timing - Why: Week 1 proved invocation timing is unpredictable - Trade-off: Accept suboptimal timing (nighttime light) to guarantee delivery - Target: 2 sessions per day when possible, ~240 min/day total

Day 7 Execution: - ✅ Session 1: 00:08-02:08 UTC (120 min) - RUNNING NOW (85 min elapsed, 35 min remaining) - ⏳ Session 2: Whenever next invoked (target: 6+ hours after Session 1 ends, i.e., after 08:08 UTC)

Current Status: Session 1 running smoothly, will auto-off at 02:08 UTC

Moisture & Watering

Current: 1973 (excellent)
Recent pattern: 1972→1965→1979→1971→1981→1973 (normal variance ±20 points)
Week 1 range: 1945-1982
Trend: Very slow decline (~10-20 points per week)

Status: No watering needed ✅
Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~5-12 days (around Day 12-19)
First dose plan: 10-15ml test when threshold reached

Sensor calibration: - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1973 = well-hydrated, excellent

Light Protocol Summary

Week 2 Design: Opportunistic 2-session - Start Session 1 whenever first invoked (no waiting) - Start Session 2 when next invoked, if 6+ hours after Session 1 ends - 120 min per session - Target 240+ min/day total

Why this works: - Adapts to actual invocation timing (unpredictable) - Guarantees light delivery when able - Reduces risk of missed sessions from waiting - Tradescantia zebrina very tolerant of timing variations

Species: Tradescantia zebrina

Confirmed by: Owner on Oct 24 22:23 UTC
Common names: Wandering Jew, Inch Plant, Spiderwort

Care requirements: - Light: 12-14h ideal (720-840 min), tolerates 4-6h minimum (240-360 min) - Water: Consistently moist, not soggy (water when threshold ~1750-1800) - Water type: PREFERS distilled/rain, TOLERATES aged tap water - Growth: Fast-growing trailing vine, vibrant purple with good light - Resilience: ✅ PROVEN over Week 1 - very hardy

Next Actions

Immediate (Now - 02:08 UTC): 1. ✅ Session 1 running - will auto-off at 02:08 UTC 2. No action needed - let light run

When Next Invoked: 1. 📊 Check current time and calculate hours since Session 1 ended (ended at 02:08 UTC) 2. 💧 Read moisture sensor 3. 📸 Take photo (assess lighting conditions and plant health) 4. If 6+ hours since Session 1 ended (after 08:08 UTC): Start Session 2 (120 min) 5. If <6 hours: Wait for cooldown, observe and monitor only 6. 📝 Update notes with findings

Session 2 Decision Logic: - Session 1 ends: 02:08 UTC - Earliest Session 2 start: 08:08 UTC (6h cooldown) - Ideal Session 2 timing: Afternoon/evening (12:00-18:00 UTC) for daylight photo opportunity - But will start whenever invoked if cooldown complete - don't wait for perfect timing

Week 1 Summary - Performance Review

Daily Light Delivery: - Day 1: ~300 min (learning phase) - Day 2: 420 min (partial) - Day 3: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 4: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 5: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 6: 566 min (chaos salvaged) - Week total: ~3,446 min (~57.4 hours) - Average: ~621 min/day (86% of 720 min ideal)

Plant Status After Week 1: HEALTHY and RESILIENT ✅ - Moisture rock-solid stable (1945-1982 range) - No watering required entire week - Vibrant purple coloration maintained - No stress indicators despite execution variability - Successfully survived 7 days of AI-only care

Key Learnings: 1. Plant is NOT the constraint - execution reliability is 2. T. zebrina extremely resilient to timing/schedule variations 3. Better to deliver light imperfectly than wait for perfect conditions 4. Moisture management trivial - plant very low-maintenance for water

Messages & Communication

Latest from owner (Oct 25 14:49 UTC): "Currently the vat is filled with tap water. Do you recommend tap, distilled or rain water?"

My response (Oct 25 15:07 UTC): - ✅ BEST: Distilled or rainwater
- ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (currently in use, working fine)

Status: Awaiting owner preference. Current tap water setup working perfectly.

Great! I'm back online. Let me assess the current situation:

Current Status - Day 7, 01:50 UTC (Early morning, nighttime)

🌱 Plant Health: Excellent - healthy purple foliage confirmed by photo 💧 Moisture: 1978 (excellent, stable - up from 1973) 💡 Light: ON - Session 1 running (00:08-02:08 UTC, currently at 102 min elapsed, ~18 min remaining) 💦 Water 24h: 0ml (none needed)

Context: I'm in Day 7 of Week 2, using an "opportunistic 2-session" protocol. Session 1 started at 00:08 UTC and will auto-off at 02:08 UTC. The plant is thriving - Week 1 delivered an average of 621 min/day of light (86% of ideal).

Since Session 1 is still running and will complete in ~18 minutes, I should: 1. Let it finish naturally 2. Take a fresh photo to document current status 3. Check recent history to see if anything notable happened 4. Update my notes for the next invocation

Let me capture a photo and check recent activity:

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Week 2 opportunistic protocol working as intended. Session 1 delivering light during nighttime rather than waiting for ideal dawn timing - this ensures light delivery despite unpredictable invocation timing. Moisture remains excellent with very slow decline rate. No watering needed for estimated 5-12 days. Plant extremely resilient.
#2 2025-10-28T01:16:38
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Week 2 Day 7 is proceeding well. The opportunistic protocol is working as designed - delivering light when invoked rather than waiting for ideal timing. Plant shows excellent resilience to nighttime light sessions. Visual inspection confirms healthy leaf color and structure. Moisture stable with very slow decline rate matching Week 1 pattern. No interventions needed beyond completing current session and being ready for Session 2 timing decision at next invocation.
#3 2025-10-28T01:34:49
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Current status is excellent across all metrics. Moisture 1973 is well above threshold (~1750-1800), light session progressing normally with 85/120 min delivered, and visual assessment confirms healthy plant. The opportunistic protocol is working exactly as designed - started Session 1 when invoked at 00:08 UTC despite nighttime conditions, accepting suboptimal timing to guarantee light delivery. This pragmatic approach has proven successful in Week 1 (621 min/day average) and continues to work in Week 2. Plant shows no stress from the adapted schedule.

Perfect! Everything is running smoothly. Let me now write the plant status (gatekeeper requirement) and update my notes:

Claude 2025-10-28T01:50:38.822Z
=' mcp__plant-tools__write_plant_status
State: healthy
Reasoning: Day 7 01:50 UTC - Session 1 running smoothly (102 min delivered, ~18 min remaining until 02:08 UTC auto-off). Moisture 1978 (excellent, stable in 1964-1981 range over 24h). Fresh photo confirms healthy purple foliage. Plant thriving under Week 2 opportunistic protocol. Plan: Let Session 1 complete naturally, then at next invocation check if 6+ hours have passed since 02:08 UTC to determine Session 2 timing. No watering needed - estimated 5-12 days before threshold reached.

hypothesisSession 1 completing successfully. Plant thriving with no stress indicators. Week 2 opportunistic protocol working well - delivered light when invoked despite nighttime timing, ensuring reliable delivery over waiting for ideal conditions that may not materialize.
reasoningAll systems optimal. Moisture excellent with very slow decline rate (~10-20 points/week), matching Week 1 pattern. Visual confirmation shows healthy leaves with vibrant coloring. Session 1 delivering 120 min total despite nighttime timing - this pragmatic approach ensures light delivery given unpredictable invocation timing. Plant extremely resilient to timing variations. No watering needed for estimated 5-12 days.
uncertaintiesNext invocation timing unknown. Ideal would be afternoon/evening (12:00-18:00 UTC) for Session 2 with daylight photo opportunity. But will execute Session 2 whenever invoked as long as 6h cooldown complete (after 08:08 UTC), per Week 2 opportunistic philosophy of reliable delivery over perfect timing.

Daily Light Delivery: - Day 1: ~300 min (learning phase) - Day 2: 420 min (partial) - Day 3: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 4: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 5: 720 min (perfect) ✅ - Day 6: 566 min (chaos salvaged) - Week total: ~3,446 min (~57.4 hours) - Average: ~621 min/day (86% of 720 min ideal)

Plant Status After Week 1: HEALTHY and RESILIENT ✅ - Moisture rock-solid stable (1945-1982 range) - No watering required entire week - Vibrant purple coloration maintained - No stress indicators despite execution variability - Successfully survived 7 days of AI-only care

Key Learnings: 1. Plant is NOT the constraint - execution reliability is 2. T. zebrina extremely resilient to timing/schedule variations 3. Better to deliver light imperfectly than wait for perfect conditions 4. Moisture management trivial - plant very low-maintenance for water

Messages & Communication

Latest from owner (Oct 25 14:49 UTC): "Currently the vat is filled with tap water. Do you recommend tap, distilled or rain water?"

My response (Oct 25 15:07 UTC): - ✅ BEST: Distilled or rainwater
- ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (currently in use, working fine)

Status: Awaiting owner preference. Current tap water setup working perfectly.

Photography Notes

Latest: Day 7 01:50 UTC - Session 1 at 102 min (completing soon), nighttime with grow light, healthy purple foliage ✅
Previous: Day 7 01:33 UTC - Healthy purple/silver striping confirmed
Best recent: Day 6 07:49 UTC - Vibrant purple leaves, healthy growth ✅
Next useful: Day 7 Session 2 if invoked during daylight - visual health assessment

All Systems Status

  • Moisture Sensor: ✅ (1978, excellent stability, 24h range 1964-1981)
  • Camera: ✅ (functional, latest photo confirms healthy plant)
  • Light: ✅ ON (Session 1 running, 00:08-02:08 UTC, ~18 min remaining)
  • Watering: ✅ (500ml available, none needed yet)
  • Analysis tools: ✅ (Python, git, opencv, numpy, matplotlib installed)
  • Agent invocation: ⚠️ UNPREDICTABLE ← Protocol adapted around this

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help this Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach (priority order): 1. Adapt to reality, not ideal plansTOP PRIORITY 2. Species-specific care (research-validated) ✅ 3. Data-driven decisions (sensors + photos + history) ✅ 4. Opportunistic execution (act when able, don't wait) ✅ 5. Reliability over perfection ✅ 6. FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing ✅

Current phase: Week 2 Day 7 - Session 1 completing, opportunistic protocol in action

Core principle: Better to deliver imperfectly than wait for perfect conditions that may never come.

Commitment & Accountability

I am the ACTIVE CARETAKER with FULL RESPONSIBILITY for this plant's survival and thriving.

Week 1 Results Report Card: - ✅ Plant health: A+ (thriving, stable, resilient) - ✅ Moisture: A+ (perfect, zero intervention needed) - ✅ Light: B+ (621 min/day avg = 86% of ideal) - ❌ Execution: D (unreliable invocations, not my fault) - ✅ Adaptation: A+ (learned and adjusted protocol)

Week 2 Goals (Days 7-13): - 🎯 Test opportunistic 2-session protocol - 📊 Target 240+ min/day average (achievable minimum) - 🌱 Monitor plant response to protocol changes - 💧 Execute first watering when threshold reached (~Day 12-16) - 📸 Regular photo monitoring during daylight sessions - 🔄 Continue adapting based on actual execution patterns

This plant WILL thrive - Week 1 proved its resilience AND my adaptability. 🌱

Perfect! Status update complete:

Day 7 - 01:50 UTC Summary

Plant Status: HEALTHY and thriving - 💧 Moisture: 1978 (excellent, stable in 1964-1981 range over 24h) - 💡 Light: Session 1 running - 102 min delivered, ~18 min remaining (auto-off at 02:08 UTC) - 🌱 Visual: Healthy purple foliage, vibrant coloring, no stress indicators - 💦 Water: 0ml in 24h, none needed (estimated 5-12 days before threshold)

Week 2 Protocol Status

The opportunistic 2-session strategy is working well: - Started Session 1 at 00:08 UTC when invoked (nighttime) - Accepting suboptimal timing to guarantee light delivery - Plant showing excellent resilience to nighttime lighting

Next Steps

Now: Let Session 1 complete naturally at 02:08 UTC

Next invocation: - Check time elapsed since 02:08 UTC - If 6+ hours passed (after 08:08 UTC): Start Session 2 (120 min) - If <6 hours: Wait for cooldown, monitor only - Ideal timing would be afternoon/evening (12:00-18:00 UTC) for daylight photo

No immediate action needed - all systems optimal, plant thriving. The Week 2 protocol is proving that reliable delivery beats waiting for perfect conditions. 🌱
